Just seen an ad for the 9300i (that's 9300 with WiFi) and had a couple
of thoughts:
a) man I wish that had been out when I bought my Treo last year. Having
WiFi in something I could actually fit in a pocket would be cool.
b) So what exactly does the 9500 have that the 9300i doesn't? As I
understood it, the 9500 is bigger than the 9300, but has WiFi.

There are actually more differences between the 9300 and the 9300i than just
WiFi - I read an article somewhere that ran through the changes, though
obviously WiFi is the biggie.

The 9500 has a (poor) camera, but that is about it. Get a 9300i if you can.
I have the 9300 which is a great device. WiFi would make it even better...

Pretty much my point. The 9300 looks like a phone, while the 9500 looks
like a (large) brick. If there had been a 9300i 5 months ago I may well
have bought that instead.

btw - I've read the interface is very laggy, particularly on Office,
Acrobat etc. Is that the case?
